March 19th Virginia Tech KTU exhibitor

"Musical Arduino Orchastra"

The
first "Musical Arduino Orchastra" focuses on taking real time
measurements of light (as input) and programming those values to create
tones or music (output). So in this "Arduino Orchastra" YOU are both the
composer (through writing code) and the conductor (through shining
different lights into the arduino musical device). Sound fun? To get a
preview, google the term Theramin.

The
second robotic activity starts off with a ready to program robot
equipped with a real shooting laser! (safe laser pointer) You can either
program him to scurry around the floor to make patterns, intelligently
detect obstacles and avoid colliding into them, or use the killer laser
attachment detect and shoot things in the room! Come check out and
program our killer laser robot!
